Not a radio scanner, but just a car radio.
Driving cross country in my old Chevy Pick up. The radio was original, and sometimes picked up CB frequencies.
I was about 50 minutes out of Boulder, CO, and i remember the radio station barely coming in, (99.3FM) and suddenly, it just switched to this old school ballroom music, and the sound of someone crying and begging someone else to come back.
Lasted about 3 minutes.
Asked about it when i got to Boulder, got a few looks from the truckers at the diner where i stopped for gas and food. The only thing they told me was 'if you see a lady in a gown, dont stop.'
I was driving out in the New Mexico wilderness one time, with my CB on. I was so far from humanity that there wasn’t a even trucker traffic coming through. Just very quiet static.
Clear as day, a distressed female voice comes through, “is anybody out there?”
I responded, but never heard the voice again.
Looking at a two lane road wandering through miles of nothing, bathed in the blue light of twilight, and hearing that voice made me understand what loneliness feels like.
Edit: I said that I never heard the voice again, but I can still hear it in my memories. It was about 25 years ago.
Yeah crazy things happen in The wilderness of New Mexico. Especially Mescalero
It is very creepy at night.
Years ago my friend was recently separated from her abusive husband and she and I put her toddler twins to bed and were sitting playing cards at the kitchen table. She had a scanner and we were listening as we played cards and chatted. Suddenly a call comes in and we recognize the voice, her ex, and he told the cops that my friend was running a drug house with her new boyfriend, she didn’t have a boyfriend, and gave the name of the town’s biggest drug dealer. He warned them that everyone in the house would be armed and to go in hard. I worked with the police so I called them and told them what was going on. One of my cop friends came over and checked to make sure we were OK. Her ex got a fine but no jail time. He didn’t even care that his toddler twins were in the house. His attitude was if I can’t have them then no one can.
The piece of garbage just tried to SWAT his ex, and all he got was a fine?
What a scumbag.
12:40 On December 22, 1910, 21 firemen of the Chicago Fire Department were killed by a building collapse fighting a fire at the Chicago Union Stockyards. On December 22, 2010 the department held a hundred-year memorial service. I don't know if anyone at the service had a scanner on initially, but senior officers had their pagers. Literally in the middle of the service multiple pagers start going off. Someone turns on a scanner... and they hear firefighters down. Building collapse, two FFs dead, right in the middle of the memorial for 21 FFs killed in a building collapse.
And then there was the FF working inside a structure fire who suddenly heard a strange voice on his radio telling him to EVACUATE NOW and bailed out just before the room he was in collapsed. He didn't recognize the voice and no one else on the fireground heard it or claimed to have sent it. This was on the same day that nine FFs in Charleston, South Carolina were killed in one single fire.
Where did you find the second story? I'd like to read it.
@@mangjitnijjhar1390 Unfortunately I couldn't begin to tell you where; it was in a book of firefighting "war stories" I found several years ago at my local library. Can't recall any details.
My mom was a volunteer rescue squad member. They went on a call and it turned out to be another volunteer’s daughter who died at the scene. She was so upset and practically begged me to never make her watch me die at a emergency scene. I held up on my side of the bargain. But I ended up having to watch her die instead
…..
Sooner or later, everyone pays the cost of admission. Life ain't for free.
As hard as it is that's the way it's supposed to be. As our parents kids, We are supposed to bury our parents. Our parents aren't supposed to Bury us....... Unless it wasn't supposed to be your mom's time. Either way i'm sorry for your loss. My mom was my best friend. She was only 49 when she died. I don't wish that pain on anyone. Rip to your mom
Not creepy, but funny.
I was listening to the railroad frequency one morning as I always had a scanner in my bedroom. Dispatcher called a bunch of trains all morning. Apparently durring the night, a Union Pacific train had dropped off a bad locomotive in a siding (called doing a "set out") and the dispatcher wanted to know which siding they had set it in. Every train crew he called said they hadnt seen it. So basically, they managed to misplace a 70+ foot, 400,000+ pound locomotive. Dont know if they ever found it.
saving this for after the video so i can maybe become a bit happier
edit: worth it
You'd think they have some GPS tracking on the locomotives? I know here on Russian railways all newer locomotives have this GPS/GLONASS tracking and remote diagnostics toolset, and there was even 3rd party commercial service where you could log in and monitor all kinds of things about a particular loco, its position on the map, speed, destination, operational state, details of the train, down to each individual car indexed, the crew, even the maintenance journal. Sadly they took the service offline... for whatever reason. Maybe thought it's a security concern to have a 3rd party accessing all that vital data.
How the hell do you lose a fucking TRAIN!?
NEVER buy a radio scanner from a mysterious dusty old shop round a quiet corner. And if you go back, and the shop is no longer there, DO NOT USE THE SCANNER!
??????????????????????????????????????
Why explain
What???
Radio? What's going on with that radio?
What lol
12:40 reminds me of a Missing Man formation in the Air Force. The formation stands at attention and the MC calls a few names in the formation, each of whom responds with something like "Here, sir!" Then the MC reads the rank and name of the deceased, to which there is obviously no reply. Then the name is read again, and then again, after which the formation salutes and guns fire
12:10 years ago I read an account of some old bank robbery by two guys. First guy shows a gun and yells "Nobody move!!!". First guy sees movement out of the corner of his eye, whirls and shoots... his partner.
Friggin' final tone-outs.
I live in the outskirts of a smallish county in rural PA. A couple of years ago, the singular K-9 officer was grievously injured in a fall he took during a training exercise. I have never seen an entire county grieve over a dog like everyone grieved over that K-9. They legit had a public memorial service. There were dogs and their partners from around the state. After the memorial service, LE had a line of patrol cars that drove his cremains back towards the office he and his partner worked out of and they did that GD tone-out. I'm not even remotely embarrassed to say that as I listened to it later in the day, I think it was on YT actually, I full on started sobbing and ugly crying.
They're a beautiful but brutal thing.
One thing I can say, PA remains divided as it was back then, but the day that K-9 was proverbially laid to rest, cliche as it sounds, none of us had differences that day.
tl;dr tone-out for a K-9 was one of the most depressing things I heard in most of my adult life.
Slightly different story but involves a K-9 and his human partner. They were ambushed and both shot. The officer died, with the K-9 badly wounded and rushed to the top vet hospital in our State. When the K-9 was well enough to go home, it was a 60 mile trip. Every police jurisdiction had officers join in the stream of police cars escorting the K-9 home. I was lucky enough to see the convoy go past my work (about halfway through their journey). There must've been 20 cars, lights flashing, State police in the lead. Not ashamed to say I burst into tears. The K-9 never went back on duty but was given to the officer's widow. Now maybe the convoy was to support her, not just the dog, but it was ugly cry touching whatever the reason. I have a special place in my heart for police dogs - my current girl was supposed to be a K-9 but washed out in training (and the third German Shepherd we've had). Incredibly wonderful animals!
5:25 if it took your neighborhood out, you didn't survive, you are a later casualty to radiation poisoning. Why did you go outside like everything was good?
The guy who got pinned by his leg inter the ATV might have genuinely been bleeding out internally from his femoral artery into the compartment within the thigh. It is possible to bleed to death internally from a femoral artery laceration
My town has areas you can go that cops just won't go to. They aren't allowed to leave their cars supposedly, so if you go to one of the forest parks that you have to park and walk a half mile or more to access, you can do whatever you want, including shooting even though it's not allowed and it's not safe. They don't patrol certain areas AT ALL. There are few enough cops that you can count the cars, so when they do some bogus traffic stop with 8 cars, you know you can do something illegal on the other side of town
Hey so uh.... What town? 👀 Asking for.... science.
Hi there, You should ask for people that heard funny calls over the scanner radio. Got a bunch of them. Be well. Mike in Virginia Beach.
Omg what was your favorite?
@@JT-fu7zz Like the day a SOB from High School got noticed for un licenced, un registered, un insured, and un inspected.. Then got his car towed and the turkey had to walk home.
Or the night that Suffolk County PD in New York chased a boat. The that ended when the boat hit an island. Ouch.
The night a "Frank Sinatra's' car got found on the side of the Long Island Expressway.. (Not THE Frank, just a Frank S.)
When I was living in N. VA, heard the police bust the DC snipers who were sleeping in their car.
I can go on if required.
All kinds of things. Most of the time it's idiots playing stupid games to win stupid prizes.

Nah. Imagine how many backyard underground bunkers were buried. Somewhere, someone is probably buried alive, in a tomb of their own creation.
Uh, what the fuck?
Used to be interesting listening to emergency service frequencies back in the late 90s, early 2000s, until they introduced tetrawave in the UK.
Thanks for the stories. I am. Life long scanner listener starting out with an old crystal scanner my dad had when I was about 3. One summer I was home and was getting ready to go to my new college and casually had my scanner on and they had a prisoner escape from the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility. This was at 10:00 in the morning, and I had a dentist appointment. First time I begged to bring it back into the exam room, and we listened to what was going on even though reception was spotty. After the appointment ended the hunt was still on and continued until 3:30 P.M. where did they find this prisoner? They found him at the Pepsi Plant across the street just hiding out. It turned out that he snuck away from a group and just hopped the fence. Detroit Police as well as the county and state were looking all over the city where hhe might have gone, and the whole time he was just across the way. I also used to listen to my school bus company in high school as well as lots of cordless phones and baby monors. This being the 90’s 46 and 49 MHz were always busy with phone and monitor activity.
Wildland firefighter, so we had the scanner on all the time. 911 paged out rescue to a home where a girl had fallen in a well and was stuck, slowly sinking in the mud and water at the bottom, it was already up to her neck. We never heard what happened, but not much was said at the station the rest of the day.
I lived in Colorado during the Waldo canyon fires. I also had only known of the old couple who died, but what I heard is that they went back to get more stuff AFTER their whole neighborhood had been evacuated and neighbors said they saw them leave first. But I had no idea about the lady in the tub
Last year, I was sleeping with NOAA weather radio on in the background, and at around 4:15 AM, I get woken up to the station making squealing noises, then static, then they come back on air. It kept repeating over and over until I finally had to contact the NWS office that controlled the transmitter to fix it. The station wasn’t back to normal until 2:30 PM the next day.
I know police in my area give a description of Santa every Christmas
Was using a police scanner those 70$ ones nothing really special really and my scanner picked up a weird aircraft pilot saying "yea theirs 36 of them.... there in the neighborhood..(some letters and numbers said in this part that I forgot) never understood that part but it was making me think for awhile
Their and there - they're not the same.
“my dad was in the kitchen making pudding”
Well they had bought it, why not use it?
Now I'm curious if anyone was on the dispatch radio when a state trooper was killed a county or two over from me, or when someone reported seeing the wanted shooter when it was actually my grandpa driving through an area he doesn't usually go lol
Also, when I heard the bear story, I thought they meant the bug, hairy gay guy type of bear 😆
all of these found dead strangling self for sexual release stories are why i will never try it.
*The lead singer from INXS and David Carradine have entered the chat*
It's very easy to die hard
@@GamingNinja132 Literally
Dear god, the story of the two families getting run over by a coupe was horrifying
Believe or not I heard my ex boyfriend talking to his sugar mama . Funny as hell
23:56 Once is a prank. Twice might be a prank. Three times should be "Maybe we should go look, just in case..."
Listening to the scanners one night heard the cops being dispatched to a party my sister had told me she was going too. ( was very quiet when the police finally got there 😂)
10:20 so you just leave? The woman doesn't need (mental) help??
From personal experience with cops being called as policy for mental health calls, a lot of them think it’s a waste of their time and that they are taking up resources. Although I’ve had many good experiences but yeah, mental health stigma is still influences cops and medical professionals
Unless there is a specialized place to take them its just a ride and a 2-4 hour waste of time in a hospital.
@@unregisteredgamer9695 it’s only a waste as there isn’t enough funding for proper mental health care which is a shame but yeah, it’s a waste of time and always just ends up with people being sent home
@@elijahlee6401 we once had “proper funding” and hospitals for psychological treatment.
It is why we don’t have mental asylums anymore. Government funded healthcare always leads to abuse and unmarked graves.
I did not think about people who have to get the calls of sinking boats/ships, and that they may have written down names and messages from them while on the call, then being responsible to get those messages to the right people for them after. :(
They have to be calm, I couldn't listen to someone slowly panicking as death rolled up on them, and keep an uncracked voice while keeping them some sort of company as they went under.
I have a police radio scanner app on my phone and was listening to Hartford police radio chatter yesterday. I shit you not, I happen to hear a female officer say this:
Female HPD Officer: There's a guy over here eating another guy's brain. Send back up and an ambulance over here NOW!
Don't carry when you're intoxicated PLEASE
I listened to my scanner last Saturday and heard the fire department set off the tornado sirens, I live in Oklahoma so I didn’t think it would be that bad, it was that bad, downtown destroyed, one deceased, 30 injured, town’s fire chief had to call swift water rescue.
Thanks for the stories
All units please respond to the house where the man has a scanner and listens to us
tragedy and comedy. what a combination.
If I had known it was going to be this dark and quiet I would have been cremated!
WHY TF would you listen to a police scanner while you sleep??nightmare fuel!!!
My aunt was in training to be a cop but because of reasons it didnt happen but she would always have a scanner with her, she took that little black box everywhere. She doesnt have it any more (hmm maybe i should get her one for christmas)
Heard a police report of a death from a Jurassic Park kids walkie talkie. Shut that right off
23:45 That was a lousy dispatcher.
Yep, There's also been worse!
16:30 this is another reason people that live in rural areas own guns. Urban and suburban communities judge it but they just don't understand this is reality in places like where I grew up.
17:04, guy was probly just looking for a place to grab a bite to eat
If you get this reference yur an OG
16:40 that's why you must stay armed in your own home with multiple different weapons. Especially if you have kids you love and want to protect. If cops don't show up quickly in your area and someone is trying to kill you or your family...make sure the last thought in their head is "oh sh*t, I picked the wrong house." Then call dispatch and let them know the coroner will be needed. Not sorry. Anyone that breaks into your house with you in it is knowingly gambling with their life and don't care one bit about yours and will kill you...they certainly aren't there to bake you muffins and put on a pot of coffee. Like with hunting you must identify your target...make sure it's not your teenage daughters bf or some confused old person that is lost. Pull the trigger after you identify the threat. And if you live in a sh*tty liberal/dem state make sure your know the laws because alot of times those states have more rights for criminals than victims and shooting a criminal in your house can get you charged with decades of prison for murder EVEN if the POS was there to cause harm. Disgusting I know.
Wanted to watch the video but, the robot voice slammed the brakes on for me because I don't like listening to them.
Okay is it even legal to have a police scanner when you are not a police person
2:18 On a scanner?
Q:who is Anderson cooper?
Anderson Cooper is a television journalist (highly paid, extremely well known here in the US.)
@@LindaB651 i see, thanks for the info!
0:26 And then I'll bring the rottweiler in and let him frick you, how'd you like that?" What?
Those 99,s (all calls)
i heard a fart
but it wasnt a normal fart
it was a super cream with extra sounds
so i was banned from the emergency radio sounds
The English accent telling stories from the US is too too creepy, add to that its a robo voice.
I just here dispatch,10-38 10-8 10-4 batallion 4
HAPPY HALLOWEAN!!!!!!!
You have a safe halloween too
